उत्तर
Median is also called altitude in an equilateral triangle.
Explanation:
In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, and all angles measure 60°. Because of this symmetry:
-
The median (a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side),
-
The altitude (a perpendicular dropped from a vertex to the opposite side),
-
The angle bisector, and
-
The perpendicular bisector are all the same line.
So, in an equilateral triangle, the median also acts as an altitude.
